Question Answer
Coulomb's Law The electrostatic force between two point charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
Coulomb's Law is an example of an ... ? Inverse square law
Formula for Coulomb's Law
Low Permittivity Big force (Force is greatest when charges are in a vacuum)
Formula for permittivity ε = εᵣ ε₀
Size of force between collinear charges The same on each body
Direction of force between collinear charges Along the line joining the two charges; It is an attractive force if the charges are unlike, and repulsive if they are like charges
